What's the best park in nj?

[TimBay]

I love my local trails. Harts/Huber are great riding. They are also pretty weather proof, so I get to ride more. But, they lack some of the cool tech features you get in the north. My favorite park so far was WayWay. Good bit of rocks and boulders, but also had some good flow mixed in. I still have a lot of parks to visit though and this cannot be answered definitively.

Mooch and Wayway are tied.

Wildcat. Simply because its my backyard and I don't ride anywhere else.

Now you have to vote for it

I like them all. Each one is special in its own special way. Just like al of you special snowflakes.

Clearly this is a puppet account for @mattybfat ban the both of them

This reminds me of an idea I had during a ride at Ringwood on Friday. Lately, I've seen march madness style bracket tournaments being held online with crowd-based voting to determine the winner of matchups. I wanted to set one up to determine the best trail in New Jersey, with a limit of 3 trails for any one given park, but we can set up a bracket first to determine the best park in NJ.

We would an even amount of trail systems in 2 (or maybe 4) separate "brackets", hopefully with categories (either geographically or by trail style) for the brackets. I'd love to get this organized in another thread to organize voting and the creation of the bracket.

What would we do a survey monkey to collect contenders and then do rank choice voting where the last option gets eliminated and those people revote? I'm down

Wawayanda. Lots of miles and diverse trails. Most can be ridden either direction and still be fun. Locally for me though, Chimney Rock. Can mix up the trails in so many ways.

 

[Mtbdog]

High Mountain 'nuff said!

 

[phillychris498]

What do you all think of this format for an elimination style bracket? Still have to make seeding.

Mooch (north)
Downside - hard to link the good stuff
Upside - hard to link the good stuff

 

[mattybfat]

Gov slacktown can rate trails by how many turtle backs for scoring

I thought Wawayanda was the best, hands down? Also, I feel like there's probably ten trails at Ringwood better than Blueberry Way

I'll play, but only give my 1-2 seeds for each bracket:
Far North: 1. Waway, 2. Ringwood
Mid North: 1. Mooch North, 2. High Mt.
Central Jerz: 1. Chimney Rock, 2. Sourlands
Southish Jerz: 1. Allaire, 2. Hartshorne

No prejudice, ridden a lot of places/states. NJ has some of the best trail systems I've seen. And lots of rocks!!

Candyass is a love/hate trail mostly hate which is why 90% skip it. It's a session trail that needs repeating over and over. Fun fact top part of candy was originally a moto trials course back in its day. Obviously massaged since then. To run that trail top to bottom is counting how many dabs you had.

Rolly is super fun high roller flow trail.

Lumpy is bumpy

Dan's is another feature trail not often part of the routine.

Add those up with some hidden gems to me makes a pretty boss day and sore body.
